MemMaker Does Not Preserve Redirection or Trailing Spaces (95559)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.0
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.2
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.21
- Microsoft MS-DOS operating system 6.22
This article was previously published under Q95559 SYMPTOMS
MemMaker does not preserve redirection syntax and trailing spaces in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file. For example, if you have C:\DOS\DOSKEY >NUL in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, MemMaker changes it to LH /L:x,nnnn C:\DOS\DOSKEY. If
you have "set prompt=[$p] " (without the quotation marks) in your
AUTOEXEC.BAT file, MemMaker removes the trailing space and changes it to
"set prompt=[$p]".
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and put the
>NUL statement and/or trailing spaces back in after you run MemMaker.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MS-DOS versions 6.0, 6.2,
and 6.21. We are researching this problem and will post new information
here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
